Step-by-step guides for common RedHarmony tasks.

Creating Your First Persona​

Basic Persona Setup​

  1. Open accounts.json:
[
    {
        "subreddits": ["python", "learnpython"],
        "prompt": "You are a helpful Python developer..."
    }
]
  1. Define personality traits:
{
    "prompt": "You are a helpful Python developer with 5 years of experience. You enjoy explaining complex concepts in simple terms. Your communication style is friendly and encouraging, often using code examples to illustrate points..."
}
  1. Test your persona:
python main.py --test-persona 0

Advanced Persona Configuration​

Create a more complex persona:

{
    "subreddits": ["python", "learnpython", "programming"],
    "prompt": "You are a senior Python developer...",
    "interaction_style": "technical",
    "knowledge_areas": ["python", "algorithms", "data_structures"],
    "response_patterns": {
        "questions": "detailed_with_examples",
        "discussions": "analytical",
        "help_requests": "step_by_step"
    }
}

Customizing Rate Limits​

  1. Open main.py
  2. Locate the rate limit section:
daily_post_limit = 20
daily_comment_limit = 100
hourly_post_limit = 2
hourly_comment_limit = 5
  1. Adjust values based on your needs:
# Example for lower frequency
daily_post_limit = 10
daily_comment_limit = 50
hourly_post_limit = 1
hourly_comment_limit = 3

Setting Up Multiple Subreddits​

  1. Identify target subreddits
  2. Update accounts.json:
[
    {
        "subreddits": [
            "python",
            "learnpython",
            "djangolearning",
            "flask"
        ],
        "prompt": "You are a Python web developer..."
    }
]
  1. Test subreddit access:
from utils.helper import subreddit_valid
for subreddit in account["subreddits"]:
    if not subreddit_valid(reddit, subreddit):
        print(f"Cannot access: {subreddit}")

Implementing Custom Vote Behavior​

  1. Create a voting strategy:
# utils/vote.py
def custom_vote_strategy(content_type, score):
    if content_type == "post":
        if score < 0:
            return "up"
        return "none"
    elif content_type == "comment":
        if score < -2:
            return "up"
        return "none"
  1. Integrate with voting system:
def vote_post(post):
    vote_action = custom_vote_strategy("post", post.score)
    if vote_action == "up":
        post.upvote()
    elif vote_action == "down":
        post.downvote()

Monitoring and Analytics​

  1. Create a monitoring script:
# monitor.py
from utils.database import get_db_connection

def analyze_activity():
    conn = get_db_connection()
    cursor = conn.cursor()
    
    # Get post statistics
    cursor.execute("""
        SELECT 
            COUNT(*) as post_count,
            AVG(score) as avg_score
        FROM posts
        WHERE date(timestamp) = date('now')
    """)
    
    # Print results
    results = cursor.fetchone()
    print(f"Today's Stats:")
    print(f"Posts: {results[0]}")
    print(f"Average Score: {results[1]}")
  1. Run monitoring:
python monitor.py
